Ampere Hilux Crossbar Hybrid Electric Bike 250W (2026)

Power Meets Precision

The Ampere Hilux is more than an electric bike — it’s your gateway to confident riding on roads and light trails, all with a touch of style. Crafted with a lightweight aluminium frame and a discreet, integrated battery, it offers a sleek appearance that matches its impressive performance.

Strength When You Need It

Equipped with a 65Nm 250W rear-hub motor, the Hilux delivers responsive torque exactly when required — whether you’re pulling away from a standstill or tackling a challenging incline. Choose between two battery options: a 10Ah battery offering up to 40 miles of assistance or a 14Ah upgrade providing up to 55 miles.

Control Without Compromise

Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide confident stopping power, while the Suntour suspension fork with lockout smooths out bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. The wide, puncture-resistant 700×45C tyres ensure stability and grip across a range of terrains.

Designed for Real Riders

Every component has been selected to enhance your riding experience, from the 7-speed Shimano drivetrain and full-colour LCD display to the integrated lighting, pannier rack, and adjustable cockpit. Despite its comprehensive specification, the Hilux maintains an impressively light 22kg overall weight.

The Ampere Hilux is road legal and EAPC compliant as supplied - the motor only helps while you pedal, up to 15.5mph.

You can also have it with an optional throttle, fitted before delivery - just add the Ampere E-Bike Throttle to your basket with this bike. Top speed stays at 15.5mph with the throttle.

Please note: with the throttle fitted, the bike is no longer road legal and can only be ridden on private land with the landowner's permission. The throttle can't be added to Cycle to Work orders.

Ampere electric bikes typically arrive in 2-3 working days of your order date.

Ampere bikes are 90-95% built and fully inspected before dispatch. You'll just need to fit the front wheel, pedals, seatpost and battery, and straighten the handlebars (for shipping reasons).

Customer feedback confirms that the bike is easy to assemble, and instructions are provided in the box.

The Ampere Hilux Crossbar is suitable for riders 5ft5 – 6ft2 (165–188 cm).

Every Ampere e-bike comes with a 2-year warranty as standard — covering key electrical parts like the battery, motor, and display, as well as core mechanical components.

And even beyond the warranty, you’ll have lifelong access to an expert UK-based support team whenever you need a hand.

Built for performance. Backed for life.
